Battery – maintenance
Proper battery maintenance can help prolong its service life.
Maintenance
• Use a screw driver to open the caps or cover and a flashlight to inspect the level.
• If necessary, add distilled water. The levelshould never be above the indicator.
• The fluid level should be checked if the bat-tery has been recharged.
• After inspection, be sure the cap over eachbattery cell or the cover is securely in place.
• Check that the battery cables are correctlyconnected and properly tightened.
• Never disconnect the battery when theengine is running, or when the key is in theignition. This could damage the vehicle'selectrical system.
• The battery should be disconnected from thevehicle when a battery charger is useddirectly on the battery.
• To help keep the battery in good condition,the vehicle should be driven for at least 15minutes a week or connected to a chargerwith an automatic charging function.
• If the battery is fully discharged a number oftimes, this may shorten its service life. Keep-ing the battery fully charged helps prolong itsservice life. •
The service life of a battery is affected byfactors such as driving conditions and cli-mate. Extreme cold may also furtherdecrease the battery

Fuses – introduction
The fuses help protect the vehicle's electrical components from overloading.
There are relay/fuseboxes located in the engine compartment, the passenger compartment andthe trunk. If an electrical component fails to function, this may be due to a blown fuse. The easiest way tosee if a fuse is blown is to remove it. To do so:
1. Pull the fuse straight out. If a fuse is difficult to remove, a special fuse removal tool is
located on the inside of the engine com- partment fusebox cover .
2. From the side, examine the curved metal wire in the fuse to see if it is intact.
If the wire is broken, insert a new fuse of thesame color and amperage (written on the fuse). If fuses burn out repeatedly, have the electrical system inspected by a trained and qualified Volvoservice technician.
WARNING
Never use metal objects or fuses with higher amperage than those stated on the followingpages. Doing so could seriously damage oroverload the vehicle's electrical system.
